Harlott- Proliferation (Metal Blade)

Thrash in 2015. In a world of suicide bombers, social media linked murder and the tragic plight of the world’s refugees, the day-glo nuclear paranoia and high top sneakers of the 80’s seem a world away. Harlott brings it all… Continue Reading →

Interview – Nervosa

  Before we crack on with this, here’s an author’s note/disclaimer: I’ve never done a sit down, face to face interview for a website before, so putting it bluntly, I was shitting myself all day. From waking up until the… Continue Reading →

Deathblow – The Other Side Of Darkness (S/R)

There’s not much about regarding this promising sounding thrash outfit from Salt Lake City, but what is about there is the fact they play thrash metal and they do it really well. With one album already released, “The Other Side… Continue Reading →

Calcined – Tormenting Attractions (Great Dane Records)

For those that don’t know Calcined is scientific in origin and basically means the remains of something left behind after it has been completely and utterly burned, which is different to ash, as ash can still be burned given the… Continue Reading →

Dutch thrash outfit Project Pain hail from Amersfoort and already have a demo and debut release under their belts. After signing a deal with Dead Inside Records at the end of June, their second album “Thrashed To Kill” is set… Continue Reading →

Destruktor – Opprobrium (Hell’s Headbangers)

If there is one thing South America has taught me about metal, it’s that their fans are extremely passionate and their metal bands are full on. Sepultura helped pave the way for more of these bands to surface and having… Continue Reading →

Deathhammer – Evil Power (Hell’s Headbangers)

Formed in 2005, the Norwegian duo of Deathhammer – Sergeant Salsten and Sadomancer – have slowly but surely been building a reputation for themselves. Signed to the excellent Hell’s Headbangers in time for 2012’s ‘Onward to the Pits’, that album… Continue Reading →

Turbocharged – Militant (GFY Productions)

Turbocharged’s leader Ronnie “Ripper” Olson was the bass player on a few of Gehenna’s ’90s releases and, more significantly for myself, the vocalist/bassist on Vomitory’s early creations including their mighty debut. It seems a strange coincidence then that just last… Continue Reading →

Interview – Exodus

I was scheduled to interview Exodus on their second night at the Underworld, and it’s a jolly good thing too, as it transpired that they’d missed all the interviews the night before owing to being stuck in Calais when French… Continue Reading →

Cut Up – Forensic Nightmares (Metal Blade)

Vomitory were a band I first got blown away by when they played with Cannibal Corpse at the Camden Underworld in 2000, in support of their excellent ‘Redemption’ album. Although I stopped shelling out for their CDs some years back,… Continue Reading →

Can Of Worms, from Bayonne, France are a four piece who blend thrash metal and death metal and are currently on album #2 – “Kult of Nuke”. The French thrash death outfit promise a healthy dose of what they describe… Continue Reading →
